Abstract
The employability of the graduates in the 21st century includes the need for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills. This descriptive-survey study aimed to look into how preservice teachers of Benguet State University (BSU) perceived their need for ICT instructional skills for their employment. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The data were treated with the use of frequency counts, ranking, weighted mean, t-test, and agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis. The respondents reported that there is a high degree of need in terms of ICT instructional skills development particularly on the model digital age work and learning; and to promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility. The Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEE) pre-service teachers have higher degree of need for ICT instructional skills than the Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSE) pre-service teachers. The results have implications for improving instruction and enhancing the curriculum.
